About Us

Our Mission
To assist expectant women and families in the Capital area by providing evidence-based information about pregnancy, childbirth and parenting and advocating for accessibility of a full range of caregiver and birth location options.

Our Vision
We envision a culture that supports and celebrates birth with any caregiver or in any setting the expectant woman chooses.

Our History
Birth Options Alliance is an outgrowth of the Takoma Park Birthing Circle, a local support & referral group that held monthly meetings & hosted a listserv from Spring 2004 until Spring 2007. In March 2007 the Capital area learned of the closing of 2 long-standing midwifery practices. Pregnant women, mothers and concerned citizens across the region brought their energy together at the Birthing Circle and as a result, Birth Options Alliance was born!

Our Programs & Services
We continue to provide monthly meetings of the Birth Options Alliance and a
listserv on Yahoo Groups.
